Great location, lovely house

Lovely comfortable and well equipped house. It looks small from the outside but agree with other reviews that there is plenty of room due to clever design and storage. Large garden and we were not bothered by nearby road or railway. The house is in a beautiful part of France with lots of history, a car is necessary to appreciate and visit the local area.Communication with Wendy excellent. Very easy and straightforward process.

Wonderful place to stay

The property is easily found and first impressions are that it might be a bit small, a bit near the road/railway and a bit remote. Give it 24 hours and you will realise none of these are an issue; it is bigger than you think with ample room to cook, eat and relax. The property is really well equipped and it feels like a home from home rather than a rented place.

The outside space is lovely too and we enjoyed making use of the sun loungers in the large grounds.

The road which runs in front of the property is not busy and the hedging ensures privacy and keeps any road noise down. We liked to watch people go backwards and forwards and motorcyclist in particular were often keen to give a wave as they passed the top of the drive. The railway just beyond the road is not busy and again the (very) occasional train is a pleasant diversion. At night, the road and railway fall silent and the only sound is the odd owl. The motorway a little further away cannot be seen or heard.

Bompas has little to offer other than a quiet beauty, which extends to the village behind the property too. Friendly locals are happy to wish you a good day if you take a morning stroll.

We liked to walk into Tarascon; about 30 minutes on the old road the other side of the railway and then a footpath and then a pavement into town. Great place for a meal or simply to have some wine or coffee and watch the world go by (very slowly).

So our fears were short-lived. We loved our week in the property and saw some amazing places but were always happy to get back 'home' to a comfortable place where a wine or two could be enjoyed outdoors in the evening sun. Definitely worth a visit, but car essential of course.

Great stay

We stayed for a week with our two year old toddler. Wendy and John were very helpful and accommodating and provided everything we would need. The house is a tardis and a great place to relax. It is close to a road but you soon forget about it. The stairs are very steep so an extra eye on small children is needed (although a stair gate is provided).

We really enjoyed the local area and playing in the garden. We would love to return in the near future!

Excellent - recommended

Comfort, convenience and Le Tour going past the gate. What more can you ask for? The booking process and directions were excellent. Two couples enjoyed the house without bumping into each other. Everything that we needed was close to hand, with easy access to the solitude of the mountains. Ideal location.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your lovely comments we are pleased you enjoyed the gite and the area ....we can't promise the Le Tour de France every year!

Great location & great wee house

The property is exactly what we expected from the website and the owners provided all the information we needed before we arrived. Property was well presented and clean and easy to keep clean. It was exactly what we needed as a base for walking, cycling, canoeing and relaxing - easy to get to lots of the places the area has to offer. Recommended.

Excellent small gite very central and easy to find

There were 3 adults in our party and we found the gitextremely comfortable. The surrounding countryside is very beautiful and the view of the Pyrenees covered in snow from the backdoor was stunning. Foix is very close and an excellent town as is Tarascon just a few kilometers away. We love walking and were spoilt for choice; the wild flowers were excellent. Although the gite is very close to a minor road, the railway and the N20 we were not unduly disturbed.
